I ordered two wrist bands for my apple watch. The quality is excellent. The bands really are very high quality and do fit as if those were made by apple themselves. The price is priceless.

Also contacting customer support is very easy and they are very responsive. I was impressed that they answer in my own language even though they are based out of China. By the way - it is not "cheap google translate" but a real translation where they even cover complex grammar.

I can only recommend to deal with Mini in the Box. Will stay there and even try the other platforms they provide like Light in the Box.

Guys - keep up your quality and responsiveness. You will become VERY rich!

Meanwhile, I placed the next order. Looking forward receiving my next wrist and for my Apple Watch. Keep it going:-)

Un particolare ringraziamento all'Azienda che ha provveduto a farmi recapitare l'oggetto a sue spese con posta prioritaria raccomandata, in circa 20 giorni. Il connettore funziona perfettamente! Di ottima costruzione e ben confezionato. Sono molto soddisfatto!

Will we never learn,
March 13, 2017

Why I chose to do business with people who don't know how to tell the truth, is just stupid, I place an order and expect to receive the goods, but this company is just so untrustworthy and uses your founds to operate its business, call it an interest free loan if you like, For a thirty dollar gift order placed six weeks ago and never received why do I deal with unscrupulous no shop front shysters.

MiniInTheBox attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Melhor site para compra, produtos sempre entregues. Os relógios comprados são lindos e de ótimo material com a bateria funcionando perfeitamente. Com certeza recomendo a compra dos relógios para todos. Em relação ao tempo de espera, demorou cerca de 3 meses, tempo normal quando compro nesse site, o que demora mesmo é a entrega pelos Correios do Brasil. Estou muito satisfeita com a compra e com o site.

Buono quasi ottimo
March 12, 2017

Sito ben fatto con moltissimi prodotti. L'assistenza clienti è anche molto disponibile a risolvere i problemi e a fornire rimborsi in caso di mancata ricezione del pacco entro la data prevista.
Purtroppo le spedizioni ordinarie sono mediante posta classica e ho ricevuto più volte alcuni articoli danneggiati.

Unique stuff
March 12, 2017

Miniinthebox is a cool place to shop for unneeded things. I have always enjoyed looking for unique stuff. Mini has this. It also has about anything else you might need or want. Prices are cheap and shipping is free. The shipping time is slow. Products are shipped on a slow boat from China... SERIOUSLY! So be patient and enjoy the savings and unique products :)

Waste of time!
March 11, 2017

This website is nothing but a scam! I have made 2 purchases and both never arrived! They just keep telling me to wait and wait and wait! Until they ger fed with you and will just issue a refund! Could have used all that time to order somewhere else and actually get the product!

The shop offers many products of decent quality at affordable prices. Some products are unobtainable elsewhere.
The support service is awesome because they solve any problem that may occur. E.g. They replace or refund defective products in very short time.
They also offer free shipping, which is slow, but free.
Highly recommended.

I bought this piece as a last alternative to the issue I was having with imaging a MacBook 12". Everything other adapter I purchased before finding this one at MiniIntheBox did not work... period. But after receiving this part I booted into option manager and was successful at seeing my NetBoot image! Wow. To boot, I took a really close look at where the part was manufactured and found it to be the exact compatible for the MacBook 12" USB-C port.

So if you're trying to figure out how to NetBoot with the right adapter, this is the part and this is the place..."MiniIntheBox." Couldn't have been more pleased than this week finding this in the nick-of-time.
